Ma'a Nonu : ses 21 premières minutes de retour en Top 14

Le chrono du match Castres vs. Toulon affiche 58 minutes et 54 secondes. L’heure du coaching pour le RCT qui choisit de remplacer Gabin Villière par Ma’a Nonu. Pour les fans de rugby, ce n’est pas un changement anodin. C’est une page d’histoire pour ce vétéran All Black aux 103 sélections, double champion du monde (2011 et 2015).

Non seulement à ce moment-là Ma’a Nonu devient le joueur le plus âgé du Top 14 (42 ans, 10 mois et 8 jours), mais il signe aussi un retour émouvant pour celui qui a déjà porté les couleurs du clubs de 2015 à 2018, puis de 2020 à 2021. Une première depuis le 29 mais 2021.

Son retour au stade Pierre-Fabre n’est pas passé inaperçu, déjà de la part de certains qui n’ont pas trouvé rien de plus intelligent que de siffler la légende. Le trois-quarts centre néo-zélandais n’a pas mis longtemps à se montrer.

Il a d’abord percuté Jack Goodhue (lui aussi ancien All Blacks) plein axe près de la ligne d’en-but, puis a offert une passe décisive à Jiuta Wainiqolo pour relancer Toulon à la 61e minute (22-21). Actif sur plusieurs phases, utilisé en leurre ou balle en main, il devient un vrai point d’ancrage offensif et est aussi à l’origine du deuxième essai de son ailier.

Sur une touche à la 73e, Nonu sert d’abord de leurre, puis il trouve Tolofua après une combinaison. Cette action mène au deuxième essai de Wainiqolo, qui a permis au RCT de décrocher le bonus défensif (28-26).

À la 79e, Danglot pense donner la victoire au RCT, mais son essai est annulé pour une passe en avant d’Ivaldi. Castres serre les dents, conserve le ballon et explose de joie à la sirène.

Défaite frustrante 28-26, bonus défensif pour le RCT, et un Nonu de 42 ans qui prouve qu’il a encore de beaux restes. La légende est de retour.

« L’entrée de Ma’a a été très bonne », a expliqué le manager de Toulon, Pierre Mignoni. « Il y avait sur le terrain le plus jeune de l’équipe et le plus vieux. Oliver Cowie a fait un bon match aussi. Ça pourrait pratiquement être son père, c’est un contraste un peu fou mais en tout cas, bravo à ces deux joueurs, je suis content pour eux. »

England rout Scotland to set up Women’s Six Nations Grand Slam decider

I never imagined I’d lose access to my Bybit wallet — Especially with $50,000 worth of Bitcoin inside. But one wrong move, a forgotten security detail, and suddenly, my funds were gone. I couldn’t log in. I couldn’t reset anything. I was completely locked out. The panic that hit me was unreal. I tried everything — support tickets, online forums, tutorials, even “recovery tools” — but nothing worked. Days turned into weeks, and hope started to fade fast.

I searched endlessly online, reached out to forums, and tried every recovery method I could find. I even contacted Bybit wallet support, but since it’s a non-custodial wallet, there wasn’t much they could do. As days turned into weeks, my hope started to fade. I truly believed my Bitcoin was gone forever. That’s when I discovered Trust Geeks Hack Expert. At first, I was skeptical. The internet is full of scammers who prey on people like me — desperate and vulnerable. But from the moment I spoke with Trust Geeks Hack Expert, something felt different. They were calm, respectful, professional — and most importantly, honest.

They didn’t promise a miracle. They explained the risks, walked me through their process step by step, and reassured me without giving false hope. I decided to take the leap and trust them, and I am so glad I did. Within just a few days, they reached out with the message I never thought I’d receive: “We’ve recovered your Bitcoin.” Every single dollar was there. Nothing missing. No delays. Just relief, gratitude, and pure disbelief.

Trust Geeks Hack Expert didn’t just recover my money — they restored my peace of mind. They handled everything with care, skill, and absolute integrity. In a world full of uncertainty, they were the one team I could trust when it mattered most. for Assistance support team is available Web https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/-- E mail: Trustgeekshackexpert @ fastservice . com --  TeleGram: Trustgeekshackexpert

VIDEO - le flipper rugby de Marcus Smith amuse les réseaux

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I would like to relate my experience with online scammers. My name is Vivian Cantrell, and I'm from Chicago, Illinois. I lost roughly $342,511.00 in a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment scheme. They pretended to be an investment firm that, if you deposited your Bitcoin with them, would yield a specific percentage of returns. It appeared genuine at first and worked twice. I was unaware that they had installed a bot, or robot, that would terminate your account entirely after you made a larger investment. Thus, I was no longer able to access my cryptocurrency account. Customer care informed me of an ongoing website upgrade when I called them. In summary, it was a scam. After conducting some research and reading a comment about a similar experience with a bitcoin scam, in which WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY helped a victim recover her stolen cryptocurrency in less than 48 hours, I decided to get in touch with them because I was in dire need of assistance in order recover my life savings. In relation to the investment, they questioned me. After telling them, they requested the address of my bitcoin wallet, which I gave them. I was shocked to learn that they assisted me in getting my cryptocurrency back. Contact them via email at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com, WhatsApp Number: +44 (741) 836-7204, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY is trustworthy and they are always ready to help you out
